Historians have identified two dominant currents in the Russian women's movement of the late tsarist period. "Bourgeois" feminism, so called by its more radical opponents, emphasized "individualist" feminist goals such as access to education, career opportunities, and legal equality. "Socialist" feminists, by contrast, emphasized class, rather than gender, as the principal source of women's inequality and oppression, and socialist revolution, not legal reform, as the only road to emancipation and equality.
However, despite antagonism between bourgeois feminists and socialist feminists, the two movements shared certain underlying beliefs. Both regarded paid labor as the principal means by which women might attain emancipation: participation in the workplace and economic self-sufficiency, they believed, would make women socially useful and therefore deserving of equality with men. Both groups also recognized the enormous difficulties women faced when they combined paid labor with motherhood. In fact, at the First All-Russian Women's Congress in 1908, most participants advocated maternity insurance and paid maternity leave, although the intense hostility between some socialists and bourgeois feminists at the Congress made it difficult for them to recognize these areas of agreement. Finally, socialist feminists and most bourgeois feminists concurred in subordinating women's emancipation to what they considered the more important goal of liberating the entire Russian population from political oppression, economic backwardness, and social injustice.
The passage is primarily concerned with
(A) identifying points of agreement between two groups
(B) advocating one approach to social reform over another
(C) contrasting two approaches to solving a political problem
(D) arguing that the views espoused by one political group were more radical than those espoused by another group
(E) criticizing historians for overlooking similarities between the views espoused by two superficially dissimilar groups
我的思路是
第一段介绍在某一个问题上B和S两个流派。
第二段B和S在三个方面上体现相识性。

LZ 说的MAHATTAN的做主旨题的观点是对的,这一题也不例外。
(以下只是针对楼主的问题的答案解释)
A;包含第一段的B和S(TWO GROUPS),为什么这么说不算牵强呢?因为想想第一段其实其他东西没介绍,就是让我们知道有B和S两个流派之分。
B;问题不在approach,其实在GMAT文章中way, shool, approach, genre意思相近。而问题在于advocate。注意像这种词那是百分百不能与原文意图有偏差的。文章没有强调B与S的谁over谁。
C;solving a politiacal problem? 没有。作者只是state了这么B与S之间的相识点这么个facts
